Replying to LO24181 --
Hello Gordon and Carmen,
Rick has kindly linked your post to objection to LO and i think that fear
is indeed an objection to LO - and change. Fear, i suppose, sparked
consciousness, as it developed shortly after we learned about moving away
from an impulse like light, sound, heat or chemicals. Staying alife is
helped by fear and fright. Being consious of fear helped too. Change is
not only a tidal wave, it is also the ripling of water by a breeze. Many
small changes together can build a tidal wave - or dwindle away.
[Host's Note: Gordon and Carmen used the subject line above; I just
guessed to which msg they were replying. Sorry for the ambiguity. ..Rick]
We may also assume that an common ancestor was washed ashore, out ran a
tidal wave and tried to move away as far as possible - deciding to stay on
dry land. Running away may help.
Kind regards,
Jan Lelie
